~ Epilogue ~

...Furthermore, there is no scientific explanation

for the events that took place on the days of

October 27th - 28th, 1997, nor for the sudden means

of escape.  Agent Mulder returned the following

week to fulfill his obligations to the case without

my direct assistance, as he felt my safety was at

risk. Despite my protestations, a small team of

paranormal investigative researchers accompanied

him instead. All attempts to recover the data left

behind proved futile, as all evidence had been

tampered with, erased and otherwise compromised.

Further investigation was unsuccessful due to the

investigative team's extreme discomfort and

equipment failure. Agent Mulder felt a

responsibility to the safety of future inhabitants

to request the property be destroyed. The house has

since been declared an historical landmark by the

Camden Historical Preservation Society, and

therefore exempt from any petitions to tear it

down. The house is now up for sale.

There have been no more reports of noises coming

from the Talbot's estate. Agent Mulder asserts that

it's merely lying dormant, waiting for its next

occupants.

Case # X-816973 remains unsolved.
